New Toys Ordered Part I - 1948 AIW

P-51D Mustang in Israeli Service

I have gone on a recent spate of ordering new planes. Some are to be used for future projects, others for expanding existing projects, while others will be to replace existing metal planes with higher quality 3D prints and more accurate paint schemes.

I have been gathering information leading to several more scenarios Check Your 6! for the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, and hence have ordered aircraft from Flight Deck Decals and Table Top Flights to cover all the events I can document, while also replacing some planes that are not quite right. Adding the below to some previous purchases is going to complete the 1948 project, once I have Miscellaneous Miniatures paint them all!

Flight Deck Spitfire Mk.Vc, Sea Fury, Macchi C.205, and Spitfire Mk.IX

The recent purchases include the following:

Flight Deck Decals

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.Vc - 5 (replaces metal versions)

Gloster Gladiator Mk.II - 2 (to use for the Iraqis)

Macchi C.205 Veltro - 4 (replacing a pair of metal castings and adding two for scenarios)

Supermarine Spitfire LF Mk. IX - 2 (replacing metal castings and adding two for scenarios)

C-47 Dakota - 2 (replacing metal as they are TOO heavy for CY6! official stands)

Table Top Flights

Avia S-199 - 3 (replacing metal versions)

Supermarine Spitfire Mk.XIV (to use as Mk.XVIII) - 4 (replacing metal versions with more accurate 3D prints)
